Chapter Eighteen: Southern Affairs

e!A heap of glistening white fat almost blinded him.At this moment, I could clearly hear it. The faint sound was unmistakably the creaking of the bed frame.Jiang Wang held her breath and focused.>For...Chiyang County, Qi State.

The next day in Nan Yao City, Jiang Wang was brought to visit the Lian Que Armory.

Each Lian family master blacksmith can only use the ancient furnace three times in their lifetime. They won't open it unless they have enough confidence or expectation. This is not related to skill, cultivation level, or status, but a restriction from their bloodline.

Although the Lian clan specialized in metallurgy and weaponry forging, they also seemed to have a deep understanding of bloodlines. The proof lies in these life talismans.

Even with Lian Que's current status, if he were to try his hand, the casting furnace he used wouldn't be much worse. It would be almost as good as the best casting furnace the Lian family has, besides the ancient furnace.

This time, there won't be any blind people to disturb us.

As for Lian Shao, he is now completely a member of the Lian Que lineage, and he is full of gratitude towards Jiang Wang.

As for the elders of the Lian family... Nan Yao was only two counties away from Linzi, and Jiang Wang's achievements in the battle of Linzi City had already spread. Even prominent families like Chong Xuan and Bao would take this kind of prodigy seriously, let alone the Lian family, whose status was far inferior and who were not known for their military prowess.

In terms of combat strength, as it is one of the holy lands for blacksmiths, there are some old connections. At times of crisis or when powerful figures can be summoned. However, within the Li family itself, the strongest is only at the outer courtyard realm.

For someone as talented as Jiang Wang, these outer courtyards are nothing but a stepping stone. He can reach the inner courtyards sooner or later.

Chief Lian Zhu Ping personally came to the Jiang residence to greet Jiang Wang. He didn't say much on his face, but it was a gesture of goodwill.

Jiang Wang, out of respect for Lian Que, did not act arrogantly. Instead, he was very courteous and respectful.

And Lian Luyue, the elder of the Lian family who had targeted Jiang Wang, dared not show his face these days. As soon as Jiang Wang arrived in Nanyao City, he announced that he would go into seclusion. If Jiang Wang resided in Nanyao City permanently, his seclusion might never end.

At that time, he was at the peak of the Tenglong Realm, while Jiang Wang was only at the Tongtian Realm. Now that Jiang Wang has reached the Divine Ability Inner Mansion, he is still at the peak of the Tenglong Realm. Where does he get the courage to stand in front of Jiang Wang They are simply not on the same level.

The gigantic casting furnace is being "re-fired".

When he first started forging the longing, Jiang Wang knew that the top-tier casting furnaces of the Lian family were not easily opened. They needed to be "awakened" before use, a process that couldn't be skipped and could only be waited for.

Now Jiang Wang could clearly feel the heat from the furnace slowly "awakening".

The attainment of the Sanmei True Fire's supernatural power not only allowed him to develop his most powerful killing move to date, but also greatly enhanced his mastery over the fire element, making it more refined and subtle.

Even for the fire source totem, he had a new understanding.

Every time you study the Samadhi True Fire, there will be new insights. The reason why the Shen Tong Inner Mansion is called another level compared to the ordinary outer mansion is that it truly possesses a huge and terrifying advantage.

Regardless of where Jiang Wang went, his cultivation was always diligent. At this time, feeling the heat from the furnace, he also verified his understanding of "fire" in his heart.

And the great Liánquè sat sprawled on the ground beside him, clad only in a pair of calf-length trousers, his black and red upper body bare, muscles as hard as rock.

He was munching on a fruit that looked very unappetizing.

The fruit was oval in shape, with a rusty-red skin that didn't look very clean.

But he ate it with great relish, each bite bursting with juice, its insides a vibrant red.

Have a taste!

The little magpie snatched a fruit from the dish on the ground with its hand, it looked like it had caught an iron ball.

Jiang Wang took it with one hand. It was very heavy, but surprisingly soft in his grasp.

"The ironberry only grows in the belly of volcanoes, and it's delicious!" Lianque introduced.

Jiang Wang tentatively leaned forward and took a light bite.

"Pfft!"

I immediately spat it out, feeling a strange dryness in my mouth!

“Hahaha…” Lian Que laughed, “You peel the skin off before eating I really like the texture of the peel, but you might not.”

He was obviously deliberately not saying it.

A stubborn person like Lian Que is the most difficult to deal with. If it were Chong Xuan Sheng, even if Jiang Wang screamed his lungs out, he wouldn't dare try such a thing. It's simply because Jiang Wang never expected Lian Que to do this.

It's impossible to be angry when being pranked by friends, you can only blame yourself for being "outmatched".

The skin of the ironberry is very easy to process. With a light tear from the opening, the entire peel comes off, leaving only bright red flesh. It certainly looks much better now.

Jiang Wang's previous bite had a hint of sweetness, but the dryness of the fruit peel was too strong, masking it. That's why he was willing to try again.

At this moment, biting into the fruit, the texture is soft but not dense, and the taste is sweet but not greasy. It is indeed a superior delicacy.

After taking a few bites, Jiang Wang suddenly felt like he had bitten something. A warm juice flowed over, filling his mouth with an instant burst of fragrance!

Inside that bright red flesh, there was actually a clump of silver liquid.

No wonder it's called iron pulp fruit.

With this silvery pulp, the fruit's flavor is simply exquisite!

Jiang Wang finished a few bites and felt a rare sense of satisfaction. At his level of cultivation, it was already difficult to be satisfied by mere cravings, so this just goes to show how good the taste was.

At this time, Lian Que threw another one over and smiled, “Try biting a big chunk with the skin on, straight to the juice, you’ll find it has a different flavor.”

“I'll trust you one more time.” Jiang Wang looked at her with a threatening gaze.

Following his advice, he took a big bite. This time was truly different from before. The intense bitterness was neutralized by the juice, blending into a unique sensation. It was very special and had a rich mouthfeel. In this mixture of flavors, the fruit itself became even sweeter.

It's hard to say which way of eating is better, as both are wonderful.

He was already in love with this fruit after eating just two. It was worth the sparrow's recommendation.

"Okay, prepare one hundred of these for me." Jiang Wang stated directly.

The sparrow stretched out its hand and instinctively covered the fruit dish, which only had two pieces left.

“This fruit is not easy to pick, and it's not found in every volcano's belly. I only have a quota of ten iron fruits per month, which means that I'm only giving you some because you came here. Where are you going to get one hundred”

"I have a friend who is a top student at Qingya Academy. He's very resourceful." Jiang Wang gently guided, "Do you know what it means to withdraw early"

"To eat so much at once, aren't you tired of it" Lian Que frowned and looked worried, but still said, "I'll figure out a way. I'll prepare it for you when you leave."

He didn't say that this iron pulp fruit, besides being delicious, could also increase a small amount of fire element affinity, making it very valuable. That is to say, even though the Lian family was only average in terms of martial arts, their wealth was astonishing, allowing them to give each direct descendant of their direct lineage so much money every month.

For Lianque, these words were unnecessary. Jiang Wang liked it, he would find a way.

"Good buddy!" Jiang Wang showered him with praise.

"We can't just eat the ironfruit for nothing." Lian Que stood up and walked to the forge. "Come, try your fire! Today we'll refine it for five hours!"

Jiang Wang: ...

This is what you asked for:

Let me know if I can help with anything else!

Once upon a time, Lian Que was a simple individual. Chong Xuan secretly taught him how to compete for the position of head of the Lian clan, and now he has become this way, unwilling to take any losses.

Zhong Xuan Pang is truly ruthless!

"Sigh." Jiang Wang couldn't help but lament, "Brother Lian Que, you look very vulgar now! I still miss your simple and honest self."

"Your tone of voice sounds so familiar." Lian Que said softly.

All are victims of serious poisoning by the heavy toxin.

A huge explosion suddenly sounded.

The two men chatting idly by the forge suddenly became alert.

"What sound was that" Jiang Wang wanted to confirm if it was Lianshi who had made the noise.

And the lark had already extinguished the furnace of casting, and dashed out swiftly.

"Something's wrong!"
